One day motorbike insurance

Only pay for the insurance you need with one day cover

If you’re looking to borrow a bike you’ll want to make sure you’re legally insured to ride on the road and there’s no quicker and easier way to get flexible insurance than with one day motorbike insurance.

You may think that borrowing a bike for a day without the right insurance is no big deal, but if you’re caught by the police riding without the correct insurance, you could face an unlimited fine and penalty points.

It’s never worth the risk, so the easiest and often the cheapest way to ensure you have the proper legal cover is with a temporary motorcycle policy. A short-term policy can last from 1 – 7 days depending on how long you need it for.

For all your temporary riding needs, whether you’re borrowing from a friend, test riding a new ride or just need temporary cover while you arrange annual insurance, one day motorbike insurance can be the perfect solution.

What are my options?

To make sure you’re properly insured to ride a bike you don’t own, there are a number of different insurance options.

You could get the bike owner to add you to their policy as a named driver or you could purchase an annual policy which will allow you to ride the bike throughout the year.

While these are all viable options, if you only want to use the bike for a day you’ll find you have to pay for cover you probably won’t use.

Adding yourself as a named driver means that you can use the bike whenever you want but the owner would be forced to pay a fee for making a change to their policy, known as a mid-term adjustment. They could also see their premiums rise because of the adjustment.

Becoming a named driver would only give you third-party only cover which means that if you were involved in an accident while riding the bike and damage to the bike would not be covered. This could end up costing the vehicle owner hundreds of pounds in repairs.

Get comprehensive cover for the duration you actually need

With a temporary policy, you’re covered for the time you want, from one day to week and you get comprehensive cover as standard.

This means that everyone is covered and because it’s a separate policy, the owner’s No Claims Discount is protected, potentially saving them a lot of money in the future.

Unlike an annual policy, paying for just a days’ worth or insurance means you get value for money as you only pay for the insurance you actually want. Unless you plan to use the bike regularly over the next 12 months, yearly insurance isn’t worth the expense.
